GrooveEngine

Draw Your Groove — GrooveEngine is an innovative sampler plugin that lets you visually shape grooves, timing, and rhythm with an intuitive, creative workflow.

Key Features

Draw grooves as lines and dots

Easily click and drag to "draw" how your audio moves through time — speed up, slow down, reverse, accelerate, decelerate — all with simple gestures.

Sample any audio

Drag & drop audio files (WAV, AIFF, MP3) up to 30 seconds, or import longer files (up to 10 minutes) via the Audition pane for partial selection and instant sampling.

High-quality pitch glide and shift

Integrated phase vocoder (SignalsmithStretch) enables transparent pitch shifting and expressive pitch glide effects.
Configurable FFT size, hop size, and block size allow tuning for different source material:

Audio Type 　　　　　　FFT Size 　　Hop Size
Drums / Percussion 　　512–1024 　　128–256
Melodic / Voice 　　　　2048 　　　　512
Bass / Sustained 　　　4096 　　　　1024

Scrub playback

Move through audio in real time with DJ-style scrubbing — perfect for detailed timing adjustments and creative effects.

Repeater

Loop any slice of your audio — control repeat length and dynamics with intuitive drawing.

Dynamic groove shaping

Edit grooves with flexible, draggable vertices — precisely control timing, direction, and playback speed of audio.

Built-in filtering

Apply high-pass and low-pass filters with fully automatable, visually animated filter curves.

Flanger

Control and automate the flanger’s feedback, mix, and delay time independently to shape your modulation sound.

Tape-stop effect

Simulate classic tape-stop slowdown — create dramatic slow-motion effects where playback speed ramps down smoothly to zero.

Volume control

Shape the volume of your audio with segment-based automation — perfect for fades, accents, and dynamic groove shaping.

Sequenceable regions

Arrange multiple GrooveEngine regions with tick-accurate timing for precise sequencing and complex rhythmic structures.
